Book project #1: Divergent




Book project #1: Divergent Faction test!

Have you ever read the book Divergent? Have you ever wanted to get the pure fan experience? Well here is the right place for you! Come on down to Chicago and test your skills to see which faction chooses your faith. When you come you must sign up and write your name down so we can organize the fan ceremony. Just like Tris you will take the faction test and will be pared up with someone to help you take your test. But there are a few rules for this test. First you have to be 16 years old; we will not accept anyone younger or older. Next you must answer all the questions that you are faced with during the test and have to give your most honest answer on the questions. There will be many different situations.  Lastly when you are done with the test you have to come to the fan ceremony to choose you faction. There are 5 factions that you can be put in. “The aptitude test will tell me- Abnegation, Candor, Erudite, Amity or Dauntless?” said Tris.  The first one is Abnegation which is meant to uphold selflessness and to serve others before you. The second one is Amity which meant for the peaceful and trying to create harmony between others. Next is Candor, meant for the honest and telling the truth at all costs. After that is Dauntless which is meant for the brave and fearless. Not being afraid of anything. Lastly is Erudite which is intended for the knowledgeable and intelligent. Or be faced with being put as factionless which means you failed to complete the test. If you are faction less you will not come to the fan ceremony. In your test you will be tested on your personality, how you react to certain situations, and will have to make choices on how you handle them. During the test you will be asked many questions and there will be different choices that are given to you to choose. At the end of the test you will receive your test results and an invitation to the fan ceremony where you will choose your faction. Choose carefully “Faction before blood”, but remember you don’t have to choose the same faction that your results told you too, even though it would fit you the best but it is recommended to you. At the ceremony you will be called up and will choose. What you will do is write your name on a piece of paper and there will be 5 bowls of fire. “My eyes shifted to the bowls in the center of the room.” Each one represents each faction. You will drop your name in one of the bowls and then you will join your new faction. After everyone is sorted into their new faction you will get a fan pack of your factions’ new clothes to go with you. In each pack it contains a fully new outfit that fits the faction. For the Amity fan pack you will get red and yellow clothing. “Dressed comfortably, in red in yellow, representing loving, kind and free.” For the Candor fan pack you will get black and white clothing. “values honestly and sees the truth as black and white so that is what they wear.” For the Abnegation fan pack you will get all grey clothing and a watch. “Hides one’s beauty, gray clothes (gray robes, gray shirts, gray slacks), plain hairstyle” “only adornment allowed is a watch, because it is practical”. For the dauntless fan pack you will receive all black clothes. “I see only black-clothed shoulders.” For the Erudite fan pack you will receive “at least one blue article of clothing, which causes the body to release calming chemicals.”

  1. Nice job of explaining each faction and using details and quotes from the book to build the fan packs. I think the experience of the test and ceremony are great ideas to extend a fan's interaction with the book.

    Add a short section to wrap up why your idea will work.

  2. I think the idea of fans atually getting to experience what the characters went through is really cool, and definitely something people would pay to do.
